Waqar Younis said that apart from being the captain of Pakistan, Azhar Ali is also a top-order batsman and, thus, plays a double role in the team.
Azhar said that adjusting to the new regulations has been a bit difficult, but the practice games will help in the adaptation.
Azhar also feels that they are quite capable of targeting England top-order which, according to him, is fragile ever since Alastair Cook hung up his cricketing boots in 2018.
Azhar also highlighted that the coaches, as well as himself, have county cricket experience with them.
Azhar had earlier set the auction price at 10 lakh Pakistan rupees each for his bat with which he scored a triple hundred against West Indies and the Champions Trophy 2017 jersey wherein Pakistan were crowed champions.

Azhar Ali said that he was working to get rid of the fear factor from the Pakistan team so that a relaxed environment can be created in the dressing room.
Talking about Bangladesh's tour so far, Pakistan won the recently-concluded T20I series against the guests 2-0.
Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq said they would have to play at their best despite beating Bangladesh 2-0 in the three-match Twenty20 series.
Bangladesh are ready to play Tests with Pakistan at a neutral venue and not in the latter's backyard, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury has said.
